9/11 Numbers

The initial numbers are indelible: 8:46 a.m. and 9:02 a.m. Time the burning towers stood: 56 minutes and 102 minutes. Time they took to fall: 12 seconds. From there, they ripple out.

You forgot to mention all the people who died afterwards from injuries or smoke intoxication and all those who will dye because of the cancer they got from the smoke not to count that this was the beginning of a senseless war where soldiers and civilians are dying every day !

I will never understand how people can do this, and feel so justified about it. Then I remember that the whole history of mankind is littered with the infliction of pain on one another.Which doesnt really help much, because I still dont get it.Very thought provoking and profound WW. (And Thank you for stopping by!)

I've heard recently that many in the main stream media have decided we shouldn't be shown these pictures any more. I say we should see them every day so that we never forget how we felt that horrible day, and never forget there are people who hate us and want to destroy us. Thank you for this tribute and helping commemorate all those lives lost that day. happy ww
